Australia will not buy fuel from Russia, even after a US decision that could open up global diesel supplies. Canberra said on Tuesday that purchases from Russia will remain blocked. The goal is to stop Russia from profiting from its invasion of Ukraine. The statement follows a move by US President Donald Trump on diesel. Details of that move were not explained in the source material. Australia made clear its own position is unchanged: Russian fuel is not welcome.
